The 800 jubilee celebration began this morning in the St. Thomas Aquinas Priory Ibadan.

There were two lectures: the first was on preaching. It was delivered by Fr. Jude Mbukanmma, O.P. Fr. Jude presented from his book titled EFFECTIVE PREACHING. This book is dedicated to the jubilee celebration.

The second lecture was given by Fr. Anthony Akinwale, O.P., on the history of the Order. Fr. Anthony traced the history of the Dominican Order up to the establishment of the Order in Nigeria, on Feb. 27, 1951.

These lectures in the Carolyn Walker hall at the Dominican Institute were well attended. It was a moment of thought-provoking sharings.
